Show times are 8 p.m. Sept. 30-Oct. 3 and 2 p.m. Oct. 4. When Winthrop University's Department of Theatre and Dance held auditions for "Jeffrey," the opening production of its 2015-16 season, biology major Andrew Williams...
Alexis Clowney, a junior from Spartanburg, S.C., was recently named by Campus Compact to the 2012 Class of Newman Civic Fellows. Clowney created SCOPE: Students Challenging Others to Promote Education, a successful student-led...
Characterizing the masses and orbits of near-Earth-mass planets is crucial for interpreting observations from future direct imaging missions (e.g., HabEx, LUVOIR). Therefore, the Exoplanet Science Strategy report recommended...
This paper presents a general analysis and a concrete example of the catastrophic case of a discontinuity-induced bifurcation in so-called Filippov nonsmooth dynamical systems. Such systems are characterized by discontinuous...

The frequency spectra of the gravito-electromagnetic perturbations of the
Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole with the slowest decay rate have been computed
recently. It has been found that KN has two families $-$ the photon sphere...

AbstractCharacterizing the masses and orbits of near-Earth-mass planets is crucial for interpreting observations from future direct imaging missions (e.g., HabEx, LUVOIR)....
When a vector field in three dimensions is discontinuous on a smooth codimension one surface, it may be simultaneously tangent to both sides of the surface at generic isolated points (singularities). For a piecewise-smooth...
In The Sight of Death art historian T. J. Clark (2006) gives an account of daily visits to the Getty Institute in Los Angeles to observe two paintings by Nicolas Poussin: Landscape with a Calm and Landscape with a Man Killed by...
It is shown that the Lambert W function cannot be expressed in terms of the elementary, Liouvillian, functions. The proof is based on a theorem due to Rosenlicht. A related function, the Wright omega function is similarly shown...
This paper is concerned with the analysis of a singularity that can occur in three-dimensional discontinuous feedback control systems. The singularity is the two-fold — a tangency of orbits to both sides of a switching manifold....

This report explores scholarship at the interface of geography and law engaging with the concept of evidence. As with the first two reports, this is not a summary of a predefined field, but rather a consideration of how ideas of...
Using the singularity theory of scalar functions, we derive a classification of sliding bifurcations in piecewise-smooth flows. These are global bifurcations which occur when distinguished orbits become tangent to surfaces of...
